October 11th, 2012 | by Jessie | This sweet little quilt is for a cousin’s new baby girl named Paisley.
And yes, I had to include a paisley fabric in the design. It was unavoidable. =)
The quilt is based on a traditional honey bee block, which is the large square surrounded by the pink petals on each corner. I’ve seen [...]
October 10th, 2012 | by Jessie | Friends of ours are having their first baby very soon. Josh & I were invited to a couples baby shower celebrating the little guy and this is what I made:
If you think the owl fabric looks familiar, I used another color way of the same print earlier this year in the quilt [...]
October 8th, 2012 | by Jessie | I made a comfort quilt for a friend who is going through breast cancer treatments right now. Kristy and her family have been very special to us; we’ve gotten to know them over the years from going to the same church.
I went with a modern look: large scale prints against white. It’s a [...]
October 2nd, 2012 | by Jessie | “Cousin Sarah” as she’s known on this blog had a baby. A while ago. Her second little boy is named Levi and he’s as precious as could be. Not that I’ve ever met him in real life… but I feel like you get to know kids by looking at their photos and videos on Facebook. [...]
September 27th, 2012 | by Jessie | I made a quilt for my friend Amanda’s baby girl, Isabela. Amanda took our family pictures – oh yes! now that I’m blogging again, I’ll have to share them with you – and it wasn’t an easy job. She did a wonderful job! It’s just that our kids didn’t make it easy for her. It [...]
September 26th, 2012 | by Jessie | Quilters love to give quilts to those who are going through a hard time: loss of a loved one, illness, disease, treatments. We call them comfort quilts because we hope that having the physical comfort of a quilt will in some small way ease pain. Of course, we also hope that the individual (or family) [...]

Jett’s quilt is now finished! I had the best of intentions of finishing this about 4 years ago. I made a nearly identical quilt for Jude in blue/white/black fabrics when he turned two years old. I wanted to have Jett’s quilt done when he turned two, that gave me a whole year to get [...]
July 1st, 2012 | by Jessie | I’m “behind” on getting quilts made for all of my friends and relatives who have had babies recently. I once was really good at having them ready by the time the kids were born (can you imagine?!). Now, I’m making a serious effort to get quilts to babies in their first year of life with [...]
June 20th, 2012 | by Jessie | The first nephew on my side of the family was born in mid-April. His name is Samuel Herman and – of course – he is as sweet as can be! We are really enjoying getting to know him and seeing how he’s changing in his first few months of life.
Here’s Sam and me.

June 19th, 2012 | by Jessie | I have been quilting a lot lately. This is actually one of SIX new quilts that I have to share with you!
This quilt is for baby Franklin who was born in November of last year. He is the first-born of friends Marc & Angela. Frank is an absolutely ADORABLE baby, and if that wasn’t [...]
